device is that of the wedge and lever.
The neck of the tin on which the Lid fits
is formed at very slight angle from
the vertical, and the rim of the lid is
made at corresponding angle, no SOL
der being used to form the Joint. By
means of this arrangement, however,
the opening of the cans is rendered q
remarkably clean. quick, and simple
operation.
A MODE of rendering wood incom-
bustible, not generally known, is de-
scribed as follows: Soak twentyseven
and a half parts by weight of sulphate
of zinc. eleven of potash, twenty-five
of alum, and eleven of manganic oxide
in lukewarm water in an iron boiler,
and gradually add eleven parts by
weight of sixty per cent. sulphuric
acid. The wood to be prepared is
placed upon an iron grating in an APP
paratus of suitable size, the separate
pieces being placed an inch apart.
The liquid is then poured into the ap-
paratus, and the wood allowed to re-
main completely covered for three
hours, and is then air-dried. The
mode of application described is, we
fear, serious obstacle to the general
use of this process for timber employed
in building, especially as the rough
timber, before being worked or framed,
could only be conveniently treated in
this manner. If joists, ceiling beams,
and all joinery exposed to fire could
be treated after being fixed with some
chemical solution of proved resistance
to the action of fame, We believe
many architects would be found to en-
ploy it. BatildinQ Neacs.

why Bowery Guns Are Chained.

A young man, who wanted to try his
skill in Bowery shooting gallery, noticed
as he brought the weapon to his shoulder
that a small steel chain dangled from the
front end of the stock and disappeared
behind the counter, where it was found to
be secured to substantial beam.

I suppose" said the young man to the
proprietor.

Time Lost in WAITING.

know man who has spent two years
OF his life on horse car, and he is neither
driver nor a conductor. He is a bust
ness man who hiss Travelled ever since
Brooklyn had a horse car, and little
ciphering covers just two years of his ex-
istence. This calls to mind the vast
amount of a person. life spent in what can
technically be termed waiting. Few bus
mess men spend less than two hours daily
on boats, bridge and cars; then they will
average an hour and half in barber
shop weekly, most of it waiting to get
shaved. The filling Of their lunch order
at the restaurant, with no eating, is nearly
half an hour more daily, as a rule, and the
delays incidental to the preparation of
morning and evening meals at home make
this q round hour. In q year the average
man who moves about much will lose
month in waiting for trains that won't
come along promptly, boats that are be-
hind and ladies whose toilets are elabor-
ated at the expense of time. 1t will thus
be seen that a painfully large share of
busy mans life is wasted in accommodate
ing himself to delays and slow transit

Suggestions to Amx,uenses.

Perhaps one of the greatest drawbacks
to the commercial value Of lady amanuen-
ses is an over anxiety not to be thought a
willing horse" and hence one will dam
age her own standing in an Office to
thwart that impression and be Imposed
upon" This feeling shows itself in the
promptitude with which she shuts up her
desk and leaves her work for the day.
Oftentimes it occurs that, through press
OF other matter, her employer has had no
time to ''pass" upon her work until, per-
haps, the hour of closing. He remains
behind to do this and finds it necessary to
have one or two slight alterations or
trifing corrections made. He calls his
amanuensis, and failing to receive any
response, looks for her, only to learn that
she has departed in peace" without any
further interest in her work than to occu-
Ply her desk so many hours a day for so
much salary week. We think this a
point on which a few words of advice may
serve to help amanuenses and make them
more valuable to employers.
Never be in hurry to 60 away at the
closing hour, if, to do this, you leave your
work unsatisfactory done. 3Iany clerk
has jeopardized her position through in
difference to her work as the hour for 60
ing draws near. 1t does not pay; rather
stay half hour over time, if necessary,
than lose a whole days credit
My friends, do you go through your
Office routine and wonder why your en-
ployer does not seem to encourage you
more? Try this plan of always waiting to
see if your work has met with the ap-
prevail and received the signature of your
employer, unless he tells you expressly,
"You need not watt This attention
which, after all, is your duty, but which
when it extends beyond your limited hours
may be characterized, if you so please, as
favor-will gain more for you in the way
OF encouragement and support than any
thing you can do through the day. No
appreciative man will take advantage of it.
When his signature is on the last letter
or copy submitted to him, then it is your
right to leave, provided the hour warrants
it. But until then it is your duty to stay
to see your work approved.-The Type

Victims in the Comstock.

The Salt Lake Tribune declares that the
victims in the Comstock mine averaged
one a week through the twenty-seven
years that the lode has been worked.
That is to say, at least l, 400 miners have
been sacrificed there by fire, gas, dead air,
tails, caving in, explosions or accidents to
machinery. A peculiar sternness Of feature
and sententiousness of speech among the
miners are results Of this experience. =
